Early Morning Supervision of Students – We are unable to provide supervision for students until 7:40am each day. If your child walks or rides their bike to school, please have them wait until after 7:50 to arrive. Morning tutorials start at 7:55. The only students that should be on campus before 7:55 each day are those required to be here for athletics, music, or those whose parents have to drop them off early due to work. Thanks for your help, we want to make sure all students are kept safe.
